So with both Nordstrom and Wagner out tonight. Cehlarik called up. What's the lines?

Marchand -- Bergeron -- Pastrnak
DeBrusk -- Coyle -- Ritchie
Bjork -- Lindholm -- Heinen
Cehlarik -- Kuraly -- Backes

That seems like the likely combos

I’m expecting a sleep walking team tonight

but hopefully
Bjork, Cehlarik, and Backes give us some energy trying to earn jobs

Rangers are rested

Boston departed for Manhattan after the game. Sunday’s opponent, the Rangers (3-4-1), opened with two wins in their first seven outings, then put a pounding on the league-leading Sabres on Thursday at Madison Square Garden. They’ve been resting since that 6-2 win, which saw them go up, 3-0, in the first period and pot all six goals at even strength.

Coach David Quinn, ex- of Boston University, said netminder Henrik Lundqvist will face the Bruins. Lundqvist, 37, is 1-2-0 in his last three against the Bruins, allowing 12 goals on 77 shots (.844 save percentage). He has opened the year 2-3-0, with a 3.25 goals against average and .912 save percentage. Heir apparent Alexandar Georgiev, the 23-year-old from Bulgaria, has better numbers: 1-1-1, 2.70, .923.

Second overall pick Kaapo Kakko, 18, has opened the year with a 1-1—2 line in eight games. The young winger told a Finnish outlet that, according to a translation by reporter Pasi Tuominen, “hockey isn’t very much fun for me right now.”
